Sway Bar Bushing Removal
This seems like a really lame question but how do i remove the bushings from my end links that go from the frame to the sway bar itself. I tried applying some heat and that just melted the rubber. Do they need pressed?My truck is a 2003 crew cab 4x4 with the 7.3 and it's the inch and a quarter sway bar.

Welcome to the site. Just watch out beacuse if you spend too much time reading round these parts you're gonna catch the PMS (Powerstroke Modification Syndrome). Once you get it there is almost no turning back.

I got mine from here http://www.suspension.com/ They are very friendly, and with the 3 IIRC different types of front sway bar bushings its not easy. The first time they got the wrong part to me, and were very very good about the return process and getting the new part out, before I even sent the first one back. And they are on the other coast compared to me! Great great customer service IMO

I tried burning the stock bushings out and it just melted the rubber, so i ended up putting them into a hydraulic press, bingo they came right out. Installation of the new polys was cake, hopefully they hold up.
